For decades, the Living Arts and Science Center has been a respected force in creative education for children and adults, schools and organizations, throughout the region. Through dynamic art and science programming, the LASC has fostered exploration and discovery, and inspired creativity and imagination. Our capital campaign, Imagine This, will ensure creative opportunities in the arts and sciences for our rapidly growing community and region for decades to come!

Together with De Leon & Primmer Architecture Workshop, we envision a “living” space, an interactive space, and a space that embraces and utilizes practices that we teach.

Imagine This … A Capital Campaign!
Through the renovation of the Kinkead House, the construction of additional space, and the integration of indoor and outdoor space, the Living Arts & Science Center’s 1.5 acres will be an engaging and lively destination in downtown, Lexington.

Imagine This!
An expanded and enhanced downtown facility that showcases our historic structure as well as new contemporary space for rotating exhibits, guest artist and scientist programs, performances and workshops, planetarium shows, and professional development programs for educators.

Imagine This!
A lively and green place that provides children, adults, educators, and the community-atlarge, a progressive educational facility – indoors and out – that models and demonstrates best practices for our urban landscape and our natural environment.

Imagine This!
An exciting and inclusive educational destination for our neighborhood, the community, the region and the state – becoming a national model for life-long learning in the arts and sciences.

Imagine This!
An incubator for experienced and emerging artists and scientists to collaborate, explore, and to teach – in person, and with new technology that will bring the world to our door. This renovation and expansion project will provide:
• Multi-purpose studio classrooms for Digital Media, Clay and Woodworking
• A Planetarium
• A Children’s Art Gallery
• An Artist-in-Residence Studio
• A multi-purpose room
• An Amphitheatre
• Expanded Discovery Exhibit space
• Interactive educational green space
